Default PLUS , BM , NORWAY , ABISON / OSL F.W. NORWAY , ART GLASS VASE? INFO NEEDED!

Hello all , I have obtained a nice art glass vase that I need help in
finding out some information about. On the base in an acid etched
fashion it reads PLUS , BM , NORWAY. There is also an oval sticker
that is somewhat damaged (wrinkled) that under a loop I think it reads
: ABISON / OSL F.W. BRU---ST ? This piece is fairly heavy and has a
real quality feel. On the base the pontil is a semi- ground(not
totally smooth). It is about 12" tall and 4" across top and base. This
piece came from an estate that has alot of 1950's stuff like Eames ,
Howard Miller , Heywood Wakefield , ETC. If anyone has any information
on what this may be , company info , value , etc. I would appreciate
it very much. Thanks to all and Happy Holidays!!

PS: I have included a link to a group of pictures of the vase.

I wonder if your vase could be something by Benny Motzfeldt?

Just before her death Benny Motzfeldt donated her entire glass collection to
the museum. She introduced new and original decorative elements into her
work. Wire cloth, glass fibre and soda were added to the frit, which give
the decorations a graphic characteristic. The collection consists of both
unique objects and glassware designed for mass production

If you read Norweigan, there's tons of information out there. :-)
